"Landep News"
Activists were chanting “We will kneel only to God” and “Go, Bashar!” across the country, including in the battered city of Hama, left in ruins after the tanks pulled back earlier in the week, and in the town of Deir al-Zor, a town at the eastern border of the country.
Tens of thousands of people protested in the streets of Syria in all the country, showing that the crackdown conducted by the regime of al-Assad is not likely to contain the situation.
Among the people killed on Friday one was from the hub of Aleppo, the largest city in Syria, where protest hasn’t reached yet. Three people were killed in the suburbs of Damascus and two were killed in Idlib near the Turkish border.
The protests reached even the coastal cities of Lakatia, the port Syria was going to lend Iran to make a military base, and Baniyas, and the southern province of Deraa, where the first protests flared five months ago.
One person was killed in Deir al-Zor as the military opened fire on people who were coming out of a mosque after the Friday prayer. The mosque was reported to have caught fire as troops shot at it.
People say in the streets of Syria that the regime is pressing on to finish the uprising before the international community takes a serious step toward stopping this atrocity.
19 people were reported killed on Thursday in raids near the border with Lebanon, as the security forces raided the Sunni tribal heartland.
Syrian officials report that 500 soldiers were killed in the upheaval by the armed gangs and terrorists, which would justify, in their opinion, the response of the military.
The president of Turkey, Abdullah Gull, sent the Syrian president a letter in which he was advising him to implement reforms before it was too late. The same advice was given by the Russian president Dmitry Medvedev, who told the Syrian president that unless he implemented reforms he would meet a “sad fate.”
On Thursday, United States officials said that it was time for Bashar al-Assad to step down, and that Syria would be better off without him.
A meeting of the United Nations security council this week failed to produce a resolution by which the crackdown on people be condemned explicitly.
Turkey sent the foreign minister to Damascus to send al-Assad a message, and when the minister got back the prime minister Recep Erdogan said that he hoped the crackdown would end in 10-15 days, and that reforms would be made by the regime.
Bashar al-Assad seems to be committed to meeting this deadline, but the people of Syria seem to be determined to decide their own fate and the violence only incites them to action further in defense of their freedom.
